Ajax Motion Cam (8IN) – Wireless Indoor Motion Detector with Photo Verification and Wired Integration
The Ajax MotionCam (8IN) is a wireless indoor motion detector equipped with infrared (IR) sensing and a built-in camera that captures images when motion is detected, providing instant photo verification of alarms. Designed for use indoors, it effectively detects movement up to 12 meters away, with a wide horizontal angle of 88.5° and vertical angle of 80°. Its pet immunity ensures false alarms are avoided from animals weighing up to 20 kg and up to 50 cm tall.
The Motion Cam (8IN) is fully compatible with Ajax Hub 2, Hub 2 (4G), Hub 2 Plus, and the ReX 2 radio signal range extender. It also features 8 wired input lines, allowing the integration of additional third-party sensors, making it suitable for hybrid security systems that require both wired and wireless device connectivity.
